Absolutely NOT! AVOID IF AT ALL POSSIBLE
In short, this guy is a QUACK. Sadly it took me several years before I found out. His office had me convinced I had cancer; when there was nothing wrong with me. In this day and age it is just not worth it, this is a sensitive subject you want a good doctor not a bad one. Don't waste your time, money, energy.
Details if you want them,
In 2004...I had been a patient for 3 years prior. After 1 questionable test result the Dr. disregarded facts about me and my history; predetermined the out come based on regional statistics (one of those facts he disregarded is that I lived in the region on paper only). He preformed one procedure and wanted to perform several more evasive procedures because "insurance allows it and it can't hurt" - his words not mine. When I questioned the course of action he was prescribing he responded with by trying to manipulate me into doing what he thought was best included making out of line character references and judgments about my family. IN tears he left me then came back and handed me a tissue and told me he only wanted "the best for" me.
With in a month of this last meeting with Dr Strider I had 4 different & costly professional opinions which did not include evasive surgery like the kind Dr Strider had been pushing for and as it turned out there was nothing wrong with me. NOTHING. It has been 5 years and there is nothing wrong with me. read more
